Responding to the drama experience

 

When the experience is finished, the children and the educator will come to the front of the classroom to discuss what they explored through the expereinces. Some focus questions the educator can ask the children include:

• Do animals in Antarctica have a culture? A performing arts culture?

• What was it like to re-enact the animal culture of Antarctica?

• Can animals respond to one another even though they cant talk like us?

 

The children can then have a chance to note their experiences down in their journals, writing about what they have learnt, explored, discovered and created during the drama of Antarctica experience. Some sentence starters the educator can write on the board to help children begin their journals are:

• Today I learnt that.....

• Animals in Antarctica have..........

• Even though there are no humans that live in Antractica.........
